This’n is in better condition except for 3 moth divots needing repair underneath. View attachment 320355 View attachment 320356 View attachment 320358 View attachment 320370

This one has the Knox logo on the wind button. Don’t know if it’s original to the hat...but I like it.

Beautiful Knox Twenty Randall. The Knox logo on the wind trolley button is a nice touch on those.

Wonderful Strat, Reggie.

Great! The Mossant castor takes the cake though

Great colors on this one!


Stay safe Daniele!

Excellent matching Michael

What a great first find Bill!

Thanks, Panos.

Allright, we'll give you this round
The brim curl on the Hornskov is very well done; nice and even.

Haven't had the San Antonio out for a spin in awhile

Good to see that one again. Very appealing hat.

A Sunday spring eve with sun and black clouds to contrast the clear sky, flowering trees and very few people on the street

I took a ride with this Charles Hatter's today in the morning
View attachment 319695
It was one of the purchases made in Merano a few years ago.
View attachment 319696
The hat was certainly made by Borsalino who for one of those reasons that respond to marketing is called in another way, claiming it a British hat
View attachment 319699
The type of the hat is "Ticino" and the color "Mirtillo" naturally
View attachment 319700
Thanks for your interest in the situation here. A year ago Covid did not arrive in our valley, since January it has invaded it with deaths and many people affected. Past experience has not been grasped, unfortunately
Have a nice Saturday

Can't go wrong with a nice mirtillo coloured hat. Looking good, Daniele.

Stefan, Thank you! Here is the label.

Great series of hat from you! All are fantastic but I especially like the Fabroc Homburg.

Thanks for posting that, Steve. Another Borsalino riddle (that's all we need). Thanks for the likes on the Fabroc (and the rest).

Whoa! That's a spectacular two-tone hat. Love it.

Probably my favorite 2020 find. 2020 was the year of the 3X for me, I think I scored four this year, including two Mode edges. This is the cream of the crop. Six inch OC, 2 3/4" Mode Edge brim, great felt/ribbon/wind trolley contrast. I love this hat.

That's a winner allright, Jim. These 3X Stetsons deserve some more recognition here; they're great hats.

Beautiful hat, Joe.

Canadian made 1930's Brock fedora was my morning dog soirée lid. I deliberately chose the blue tinted felt hat. I thought it fit my morning. Home I read that blue evokes feelings of calmness and spirituality as well as security and trust. Calmness - ok!

A couple yard chores in a Stetson 3X Fifteen fedora. The felt!

Calmer, Eric -

They got me all worked up though! Stellar, Eric.

Wore the 4th of the recent 5 hat Oslo haul today. There's no label revealing the maker, but probably German. It has a nice velvety feel to the felt and a cool ribbon/bow treatment. Gives it a kind of Rat Pack vibe .

My favourite thing about it is Stefan's trade mark skull lining. It originally came from him to Panos.

Can be worn up or down imo.

Panos was kind enough to add this to the batch.

Have a great Sunday folks. View attachment 319921 View attachment 319923 View attachment 319925 View attachment 319926

Cool that it fits you, Steve. The felt is lovely on that one.

Love this antelope finished felt.

Mayser really did those finishes well. Can't go wrong with the colour as well. Nice one, Brent.

Another 3X Mode Edge today. Because I can.

For the first Sunday of spring I brought out the Borsalino Lontra (otter).

I bought this 4X Open Road right after the holidays. Today I finally got around to wearing it out of the house. Probably a sign I have too many hats, but I'm just going to ignore that.

Forget that you even thought that! Very nice, Dale.

 

[Steve1857]

Indeed the felt is, Stefan. It was a snug fit, but my hat jack helped.

I've reformed it though after the first photos. Hope I don't get busted by the hat police.

Cool that it fits you, Steve. The felt is lovely on that one.

Wearing a Stetson 3X this fine “Moderna” morning...

View attachment 320214

Yup, that works. Cool one, Bob.

I took today off. My wife already sent me out for a walkabout as I have been cruising chores and household stuff since 6:00 am. I headed out to "relax" in a Stetson Open Road 3X. A few other Open Roads fell off the storage shelf and it reminded me I need to clean them up after Fall and Winter wearing. I will brush them with Coleman White gas early afternoon.

Bottom - top: 3X Clear Open Road, Soverign Twenty-Five Open Road, Twenty-Five Open Road.

I am enjoying a day off at my speed - not normal, I get it. This afternoon I will need to get some reading and administration stuff done. Until then full speed away.

I moved some annoying fallen leaves in a Stetson Stratoliner. This version has a 2 7/8" brim. I have included some pics of the Strat with an OR.

In the above pic the Open Road shows in the bottom and the Strat shows in the top.

I grilled some salmon steaks and asparagus for brunch. Our local micro-brewer, Omni Brewing, delivered a growler of hazy pilsner mid-morning. I enjoyed a glass during brunch prep. A DeLuxe Stetson Vogue was my grilling fedora.

Cheers, Eric -

Your collection keeps me amazed, Eric. Thanks for posting.

This was either a Stetson Playboy Air-Lite or A Bantam late 30s
Mike Miller at North West Hats brought it back to life about 7 years ago and he made his past version of it which he called the Seabass a very simple hat with feather weight felt
Ribbon is original
I can’t make out the inner crown stamp any input is appreciated maybe Alan might have knowledge

Whatever it is, I really like the look of it.

Very nice, Randall. I believe the windcords with the logo are original to the hat (mine has one as well).

Looks good, Rick. Can we see the label on that one? Don't think I have the "icaro" model yet.

Wonderful hat, Brent.

Thanks, Stefan.

Wonderful granite colour, Brent. Love the overall shape plus the wide ribbon and bow treatment.

This is the widest ribbon custom I’ve commissioned. It was a missing style in my collection of customs and Rick made me the exact hat I was after.
